Skiathos is a small island but blessed with many fantastic beaches.
The best of them all is the magnificent Koukounaries on the western tip of the island. It’s by no means undiscovered and if you come here in July or August you’ll find it packed to the rafters, but the shallow waters are a delight and the area is alive with birds and wildlife.
While many travelers would recommend a visit to one of the world’s greatest metropolises, a trip to a quaint town is the perfect antidote to those 21st-century blues.
